The film, which opened yesterdav at the Warner Theater, will likely be included on the 10 best of the year list of each critic who sees it. "Outward Bound" is a fantastical, sometimes weird, but always compelling narrative set aboard a ship where all the passengers, with the exception of two known as "Half-ways," are dead.

The Warner boys ae to be congratulated for making this gripping work, written by a Knell-shocked soldier-actor, into a movie, and they are also to be congratulated for engaging Mr. Robert Milton, who directed the stage play, to supervise the picture. Mr. Leslie Howard, that same splendid actor now appearing in Berkeley Square," a great play at the Alvin Theater, heads the cast, which has an outstanding performance by each member. Mr.

None can remember when, how or why he or she came aboard, and it is a tense moment in the saloon when the realization that death has overtaken them arrives. When land is sighted it is a shore that resembles the Pittsburgh skyline on a foggy morning. Each passenger has his reward or punishment meted out, but the "Half-ways," Mr. Fairbanks and Miss Chandler, who are not on the passenger list, are not permitted to land. They stay aboard with Mr.

Francis and begin the return voyage. Suddenly, the faint bark of a dog and the crash of glass is heard. Then the ship's foghorn dissolves into an ambulance siren and the picture emerges int'o a crowd in front of the London flat where Henry and Ann have attempted suicide. Excellent direction and screen technique have gone into the entire production. Mr.

Milton has used the cinematic medium to just the right extent, never attempting to bite off more than he could chew where the temptation must have been strong. The story takes a curiously beautiful twist In the case of Mr. Howard and Miss Mercer, a twist that is not for the reviewer to reveal. Whether the spiritualistic hocus-pocus that accompanies "Outward Bound" on the Warner stage is necessary is seriously open to question. Fr Leetsr Tonight At 8.00 P.

Nights at 8:15. Matinees daily, NOW PLAYING! ENRIGHT 'The Dancers' TALKING FILM WITH LOIS MO RAN TTTHEN "THE DANCERS," orig- inally a stage play by Gerald Du Maurier and Viola Tree, had gone through the processes of adaptation to the talking screen, it is not hard to imagine that the film fell somewhat short in length. Without changing the script whatever, the screen writers apparently took up the story from where the actual play had ended and added an extra reel or two which are the most preposterous and uninteresting of the entire production.

After completing all the plot complications, the couple is re -united in a natural conclusion. I had already begun to reach for my hat when the entire situation took a new twist. There had been scenes in a Canadian lumber camp, a backwoods dance hall, some London cabarets and modernistic apartments, but variety was still to be pampered. The charming Diana believes she has not repented sufficiently so she hops into her plane as she tells her prospective husband to wait until she takes a few spins around the field to see if the motor is in trim. But, wonder of wonders, while in the air she probably changes her mind and points the nose of the ship towards France.

A year later we find her teaching English to French youngsters, and then Mr. Phillips Holmes finds her and the much-delayed ending arrives. I am told that this same heroine commits suicide in the stage version, and this seems slightly better than the added sequences of unnecessary humor and sentimentality. Were it not for commendable execution, through capable action and occasionally brilliant direction. "The Dancers" would be inexcusably dull.

As is, the presence of the charming Lois Moran, the handsome and polished Phillips Holmes and the sadly neglected Mae Clarke makes it fairly enjoyable if you are not a fastidious movie goer. Sunshine Sammy, clever colored star of "Our Gang" comedies, is the outstanding character in the terpsi-chorean program. The little ebony-hued dancer does clever work as he Imitates Bill Robinson doing his famous "step" number. Don Gautier, a comedian with a fine crooning voice, is the bright light in a trio In which Frank Masters, former chorine tutor at the Stanley, adds some chatter and dancing and Mar-jorie Hines, winner of the Helen Kane boop-boopa-doop contest, sings with moderate appeal.
